    phpLB it is the most popular at the moment but LBS have the advantage of being free comes with free installation if needed and the guys there develop the things pretty fast. Personally I use both of the scripts on different directories and I can say that both of them are excellent pieces of work. I would go for LBS just to give credit to the newcomers :)

    Well I've only used phplb, I think these features for v.1.4, which is due out in the next week or two are looking really good:

    FEATURES
    --------
    * Unlimited category levels & new category settings
    * Deep links + unlock by bid + 1.2 deep links MOD converter
    * Outbid notifications w/ opt-out (configurable by leader outbids + page outbids)
    * Email manager - mass email, email individual users, log emails
    * Link expirations + expiration notices
    * Link approval by admin
    * Non-whole dollar amounts for bids
    * Configurable link description lengths + JavaScript character count
    * Custom language files - edit all public text
    * Custom link detail page URLs
    * Latest Links
    * Linkroll manager


    BUGS & SCRIPT IMPROVEMENTS
    --------------------------

    * Invalid argument error and empty category select box in buy.php
    * Automatically add required trailing slash to site URL in config
    * IPN fixes
    * Title & description validation improvements
    * Improved link management interface w/ link status
    * Return URL fixes
    * Minimum bid/bid-up fix
    * path_base for GoDaddy fix
    * mod_rewrite for broken REQUEST_URI fix
    * CMS addslashes error (not updating pages w/ quotes)
    * Category link counts counting unpaid links

    I use phpLB. Lbs looks promising...I see that it's free, so what's the catch..footer links?

    I hope to upgrade to phpLB v.1.4 but have a totally customized template. Hopefully it won't give me too big of a headache.

    I am using three differnt scripts.

    PHPLB, PHP LD Bid verison, LBS

    PHPLB:
    1) good -
    but you pay and keep the back link to the scipt.
    Most tempates need two back links.

    2) PHPLD Bid verion: Nice product, but lack of tempates..

    3) Free + Lost of tempates need only one back link.
    -- They are going to make it a good script in the next few releases.

    Find the list here - (2 + 2 + 7)

    Mr Linking - Bid Directory

    Bid For Level

    Between phpLD bid script and phpLB, I will go for phpLB as the latter was made for a bidding link directory. I have not tried LBS yet but it sounds good too.
